Thanks. I'll try and write some documentation too, re some non-obvious aspects. Where's the best place to post that?
-
OK. Great. Many thanks. I couldn't get the condition to work, but using the title-short variable in the

Ah .... looking at comments above ... There's a variable 'title-short'. OK, so now it's a matter of how to construct a condition about whether it is blank or not ........

Brilliant. That's very helpful indeed. Thank you. I've had a bash at writing a macro for 'announcing' the abbreviated title for use in subsequent citations. One thing I can't work out how to do is make its use conditional on the Zotero record actua…

I think I may have cracked most/all of (iv), by adapting the macro in the Chicago note no-ibid, called "short-title". The thing I've had a really good go at, but can't understand is, what makes the brackets appear around the publication locatio…
-
Sorry about all these updates. I've sorted (v) too. So, now it's just (iii) and (iv). My hunch is those are a bit trickier than what I've done so far. Again, apologies for running commentary. I keep thinking I've reached the end of my own res…

OK. I've sorted (ii) now too. (iii), (iv) and (v) remain .....
-
OK. I've managed to find out how to use locale="en-GB" to sort out (i) above. The rest .... still needing help.

OK. I'm making progress. But I need some help. Happy to be pointed to threads if this retreads previous enquiries (though I have tried to search). I've managed to remove the final full-stop, and all reference to the publisher (OSAP has only publish…

Ok. Thanks. I'd misunderstood what "that" referred to in your first answer. Got it now. I'll have a look & see how I get on. Cheers.

Thanks, Adamsmith, that's great on the CSL stuff. What would be involved in getting the first citation to signal the short title ONLY when (a) there IS a short title, and (b) the work is cited more than once? Cheers, Eudemus
-
Thanks. Can you indicate what kind of work would be involved, please, and I can see if it is a realistic possibility (perhaps with help). A fallback option would be to have the short title (if any) announced every time, and I can then manuall…

For me, the most obvious solution for working across Windows and Linux platforms has been to use LibreOffice in both. Obviously, that's tricky if your collaborators aren't willing to do that, but if there are only one or two, they might be persuadab…

Yes, please! It would be nice to be able to cross reference one item in the database from another (e.g. Bloggs (1998) "title" .... reprinted in X, page references are to this reprint.) Or even just the simple case of Bloggs (1998) "Title" in Co…

Not sure if this is still live or whether it ever got implemented. I would strongly endorse the need to relate books and book-chapters. Not just for avoiding duplicating typing, but to ensure consistency of reference (details tend to appear slightly…
-
Yeah. I see why you had/have the instructions as you did/do. One thing just to add. I've really no idea why the upgrade failed in my case. I didn't have any other Java than the Sun Java6. I upgraded the FF xpi and installed the integration xpi,…
-
Btw, I'd add a bit more (Dan) to the installation instructions. They're not at all clear for the non-techie (or the semi-techie). What I needed to know was to disinstall the previous extension from within OpenOffice, and then - having checked I…

Worked for me too! Thanks very much!

I have this same issue (OOo 3.1; Kubuntu Linux Jaunty), and it isn't solved by disabling JRE. Might try restarting x server, but that's desperation measures, and doesn't really solve anything. By the way, this has nothing to do with using the c…
